Though many people think that the electric vehicle industry is slowing down, sales numbers in the United States alone say otherwise. Now that the third quarter of 2023 is behind us, let’s check in on how the various automakers are doing.  According to sales data analyzed by InsideEVs, during Q3 the 19 brands we mention below sold roughly 130,000 all-electric vehicles. That represents a 98% year-over-year increase from 2022. This strong growth trend is expected to continue into next year. It’s worth noting that not all manufacturers report their sales results in the U.S., especially the newer companies like Tesla,…
The Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law have collectively infused billions of dollars into the electric vehicle industry in the United States. The IRA has enabled consumer incentives such as the $7,500 tax credit, while provisions in both policies have incentives for local battery production, and charging infrastructure expansion. Policymakers in Washington have now earmarked an additional $3.5 billion, as a part of the Infrastructure Law, for the domestic production of advanced batteries and battery minerals across the country. “The funding will create new, retrofitted, and expanded domestic facilities for battery-grade processed critical minerals, battery precursor materials, battery…
As you bring out your puffer jackets, snow shovels, and cozy hot toddies for the onset of winter, it’s also the right time to think about how to manage the range of your electric car. While it’s no secret that cold weather reduces EV range, the range loss isn’t uniform across all models. Some EVs fare better than others in how they pre-condition the battery, recycle waste heat, and minimize range loss. During the 2022-2023 winter season, battery health and data startup Recurrent gathered thousands of data points from 10,000 EVs to analyze how freezing temperatures affected their driving range.…
The Ford F-150 Lightning is the only traditional pickup truck on the market that happens to be all-electric. The Rivian R1T may have beaten it to market, but it’s more adventure vehicle than a work truck, whereas the Lightning is basically America’s best-selling pickup with a battery-powered drivetrain instead of a gas engine. But what is the F-150 Lightning like to live with every day? By now, you’ve probably seen many videos about the ownership experience, but this one is pretty special because it comes from InsideEVs’ senior editor Tom Moloughney, who has owned his F-150 Lightning for 16 months now.…
Aerodynamics are an important consideration in modern EVs. Lowering aerodynamic drag improves efficiency, allowing for more range from a given battery-pack size. But it bears emphasis: This is far from a new obsession. A new exhibit curated by Audi in Germany highlights an earlier era of aerodynamic experimentation. In the 1930s, engineers at the German automaker’s predecessor companies developed wild new body shapes to help reduce drag in combustion-engined cars. Audi Performance was as much a motivating factor as efficiency. Auto Union—one of the automakers later merged into the modern incarnation of Audi—applied streamlined bodywork to its Type C race…

Tesla has historically shunned traditional advertising methods, preferring instead to let its innovative products speak for themselves. However, in a notable departure from this strategy, Tesla has recently embarked on an advertising journey, beginning with a commercial on YouTube that showcases the safety performance of its vehicles. New Approach Earlier this year, CEO Elon Musk made a significant announcement, marking a reversal from his long-standing stance against paid advertising. Instead of solely relying on product improvement and word-of-mouth promotion by owners, Tesla has now…

In the rapidly evolving landscape of electric vehicles (EVs), charging efficiency remains a pivotal factor for consumers and industry professionals alike. A recent initiative by Edmunds, the EV Charging Test, has brought forth a significant development in benchmarking the charging speeds of electric vehicles. This empirical approach offers a valuable perspective for assessing the performance of various models in the market. Topping the list in the Edmunds EV Charging Test is the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Limited RWD (Single Motor), leading impressively with a…
